How to contact us It’s a nice laid back place with a country atmosphere.

Tourism study’s mixed reception IT IS RARE that a consultant will be publically criticised by the people that have paid them.

However, that is what has happened to tourism consultant Norm White who was contracted by the three Riverland councils to investigate the region’s tourism industry.

From the start, Mr White has been outspoken in regards to the region’s tourism industry, stating that its promotion is behind the times and has been held back by a variety of other factors, including a central body controlling tourism across the state.

His thoughts have resulted in much gnashing of teeth, particularly at Tuesday’s public meeting in Berri to explain his findings and discuss the way forward.

Renmark-Paringa Mayor Neil Martinson went so far as to describe some of Mr White’s findings as “too negative”.

Admittedly some of Mr White’s proposal’s will stretch the Riverland’s economy and many will be put aside.

However, other parts of his investigation have revealed a systemic failure in the region’s tourism promotion that needs to be addressed.

If we are serious about improving our market share, then local tourism people will need to heed some of Mr White’s words, whether we like it or not.

PS Industry’s historic day ■ READY: Friends of the PS Industry volunteers, including Bob Sheppard and ‘Massey’ (front), putting the finishing touches on the paddlesteamer before its centenary celebrations this weekend. Photo: JANE WILSON

THE Riverland is expected to receive a much needed influx of tourists this weekend as the historic PS Industry celebrates its centenary.

Plenty of activities and entertainment will take place in Renmark on Saturday and Sunday and PS Industry Centenary Committee chairperson Sandra Daniel hopes many locals and visitors will join in the celebrations.

“When I took the programs around to the hotels, and that was weeks ago, quite a few of them already had bookings for the (cente-

The Riverland icon was recently added to the National Register of Historic Vessels during the annual conference of the Australian National Maritime Museum in Mannum.

Friends of the PS Industry chairman David Nattrass said the recognition was welcome on the verge of the vessels’ centenary celebrations.

“It means the Industry is actually recognised as an historic vessel worthy of preservation,” he said.

“You’ve got to pass stringent criteria.

“As the register develops, that might lead to better things.”

“I’ve had a lady contact me from Geelong and there’s a family coming from Griffith.

“We’re encouraging people to come down dressed in costume and the feedback I’m getting is that a lot of people are dressing up in costume of 100 years ago.”

During Saturday’s celebrations, the PS Industry and

fleet will arrive in Renmark, with a re-enactment of the handing over of the PS Industry in 1911, occurring at 2pm.

“We’ve contacted the families of the people who worked on the boat way back in the 20s, 30s, 40s and some of the families are actually bringing pieces back that were actually on the Industry and that will be presented back to the Industry,” Mrs Daniel said.

Celebrations will continue into Sunday with the PS Industry taking passengers for cruises.

While the closing of Lock Two due to high river levels means the Oscar W and PS Marion will not be able to attend the celebations, Mrs Daniel said the show must go on.

“It’s disappointing but it’s out of our control,” she said.

The lock closure has also resulted in the cancellation of Tuesday’s Berri Centenary Paddlesteamer event.

Organisers said a similar event will now be held at the Back to Berri celebrations planned for October.

A love for steam helped save historic paddlesteamer

WHILE the Riverland and South Australia celebrate the PS Industry’s historic birthday this weekend, many people do not know the vessel almost did not make it this far.

A young David Nattrass noticed the vessel when it first came to Renmark in 1970 and saw it deteriorate as a static museum off James Avenue.

“The community dug an enclosure off James Avenue and that became a permanent mooring home as a static museum,” he said.

“Then over the next few years, there were several attempts made by various bodies to restore it to steamworthy order and those failed.

“Because it was then sitting as static in the enclosure on James Avenue, the hull began to deteriorate because it was taking on water.

“It hadn’t been on the slip for years and it just rusted.”

Mr Nattrass, who had previously been interested in paddlesteamers, was president of the Renmark Apex Club when the organisation applied for the PS Industry to be restored.

“In the late 80s, the Renmark Apex Club put a submission (to Renmark Council) to have an independent survey done of the vessel to see whether it was feasible to be restored and eventually it was agreed to,” he said.

“The hull had deteriorated to such a state that if it was in the holding enclosure too much longer, it would have sunk and it would have been very difficult to refloat.

“I didn’t want to see that happen and the Apex club didn’t either.”

Mr Nattrass, who is currently Friends of the PS Industry chairman, said the Apex Club was thrilled to receive permission to restore the vessel after so many other submissions had failed.

The club held a fundraiser at Chowilla and raised $20,000 towards getting the PS Industry back into the water.

“We were just pleased that it was returned to steam working order, a working boat will last longer than a static museum,” Mr Nattrass said.

CALLUM TRIFONOFF AFTER more than three decades of volunteering in the community, Blanchetown’s Anthony Noll received a worthy accolade on the weekend, being named Riverland and Mallee Citizen of the Year.

The Blanchetown man has been heavily involved with the welfare of his community since joining the local St John branch in 1968.

Since then, he has gone on to become a member of the State Emergency Service and, currently, the Country Fire Service, which he served as captain for 10 years.

He has also been an organiser of the Blanchetown Country Music Campout.

Recently acknowledged for his hard work, he was nominated by fellow Blanchetown residents Dorothy Zadow and Sheri Schubert for the Riverland and Mallee Citizen of the Year Award.

Mr Noll said it was a surprise to win the award. “It’s nice because I don’t even win raffles,� he laughed.

He admitted that winning awards for volunteer work was always the last thing on his mind. “I do it because there is a need for it,� Mr Noll said. “There is a strong artery

formed between (the Blanchetown community), we’re not about winning awards.�

A farmer and grape grower, Mr Noll said it is becoming a challenge to juggle both commitments with volunteering. “It’s getting to be more of a challenge but I still like to do it properly or don’t do it at all,� he said.

Mr Noll said he enjoys working with others for the good of the community. “It’s a privilege to work with them, I wouldn’t do it otherwise,� he said.

You don’t get any money out of it but you get a lot of self-satisfaction.

Mr Noll said he is hoping many others can follow his lead doing volunteer work. “I just want to encourage other people to volunteer, you don’t get any money out of it but you get a lot of self-satisfaction and that is the important thing,� he said.

Also on the night, a special award was presented to Berri woman Valmai Wasley for her ‘service to humanity’.

■PROUD: Blanchetown’s Anthony Noll receives his award after being selected as the Riverland and Mallee Citizen of the Year at the weekend.

Mrs Wasley has been responsible for raising thousands of dollars for charity, doing jobs like picking, drying and packing excess grapes.

In 2009, she wrote a book titled Yabbies in the Bath Tub and funds from book sales were used to help women and children in third world countries.

Mrs Wasley has been described as a person whose vision is to make the world a better place.

The awards were held at the Berri Resort Hotel last Friday night and were hosted by Rotarian John Rix with a crowd of around 160 attending the function.

Riverland continues EC funding, while Sunraysia misses out

By BRAD PERRY

LITTLE TOWN 2011 EASTER PRODUCTION

WHILE the Riverland will begin a new wave of exceptional circumstances funding tomorrow, the Sunraysia area will ask the Federal Government why its neighbours received extra support and it missed out.

Unfortunately getting water ‘overnight’ doesn’t rectify the finances. sinowsky said Sunraysia is in the same position as the Riverland. “I was very surprised when I heard that the Sunraysia area didn’t get it because they are certainly in the same category as we are,� he said.

Mr Stasinowsky said local government and Riverland industry groups lobbied hard for the EC extension and he believes the region needs the extra funding, which will now be provided for another 12 months.

on their feet. “There is a lot of people who certainly had to go out and borrow a lot of money to try and buy water in to keep going, so they need to pay that back.�

While the drought has officially broken in the Riverland, the EC funding will help growers who were hit hard by adverse weather, including recent rain events. “It’s certainly made it even harder for them (irrigators),� Mr Stasinowsky said.

“They are still in a pretty dire state.�

Some Riverland growers have spoken out against the EC funding but Mr Stasinowsky said it is only a few who are against it. “Some people have different views on it but we just felt the irrigator still had a strong case to answer to,� he said.

Once the Riverland finishes this round of EC funding next year, Mr Stasinowsky believes it will not occur in the same format. “Once this round is finished, which we will only get 12 months now, there will be no EC funding anywhere,� he said. “The government will certainly not bring it back in the same vein as it was before because there are a lot of holes in it. “I think a fairer system would be, if it’s a drought in your area, or a lack of water or some catastrophe goes through, everybody should be entitled to something.�

Tourism consultant believes the Riverland can beat a...

Decade long decline with $1 million spend

By BRAD PERRY A TOURISM consultant told operators and key stakeholders during a sometimes fiery meeting in Berri on Tuesday that the only way to break a decade long industry decline is to hire a Riverland specific tourism board costing up to $1 million per year.

Advance Tourism’s Norm White addressed up to 50 people at the Berri Town Hall on Tuesday, suggesting the way out of the region’s drop in tourism dollars is to appoint a tourism chief executive officer with a salary between $220,000 and $250,000.

“This proposal I am putting to you today is for four years and it requires some key people to make it happen,” Mr White told those in attendance at the meeting.

“You need a board of industry heavyweights interested in improving business performance in the region.”

When questioned about the hefty price tag for the proposed CEO position, Mr White responded by stating the region needs an experienced professional.

“If you want someone to come to South Australia and deliver the expertise you need, that’s the sort of money you’ll be paying,” he said.

“They won’t come here for peanuts.”

The new board would be made up of a CEO, IT manager, maketing operations manager, administration and finance positions.

Mr White said the money to fund the new board could potentially come from the $20 million Sustainable Futures Fund.

■ FUTURE: Advance Tourisms’ Norm White put forward a strategy to beat the region’s decade long visitor decline during Tuesday’s meeting with around 50 people in attendance. Photos: JANE WILSON “You do have a $20 million fund there at the moment, which is designed to help get the Riverland industries back on their feet,” he said.

However, South Australian Tourism Commission chief executive Ian Darbyshire, who was present at the meeting, said taking such a huge chunk of money from the fund would not leave funding for infrastructure.

“There is a Riverland Futures Fund that has been talked about but that is for the Riverland, that is not just for Riverland tourism,” Mr Darbyshire told the ABC yesterday.

“You could end up with the $20 million being spent on five different industry groups on salaries for four years and they have actually got no capital left to do anything within the Riverland.

“I just think what’s required next before this moves forward,

is someone doing some financial analysis to make sure that it stacks up.”

Mr White, who was hired by the Riverland councils, included the new board proposal as part of a strategy to rejuvenate the local tourism industry.

The proposal also included the launch of a Riverland website, a brochure focused on houseboat holidays, a new logo, specific marketing strategy and the region being divided into sections.

Connecting online DURING Mr White’s presentation on Tuesday, he stated the Riverland could have avoided a tourism decline during the recent peak holiday period if the region had been more proactive in telling people that it was not

underwater.

Mr White emphasised that a publicity consultant, specifically for the region, would have been able to stop negative city media reports.

“Problems in the media of late would have been nipped in the bud if you had your own PR machine,” he said.

The new strategy emphasises that the Riverland must embrace online tourists.

Shane Strudwick, who helped design the proposed new Riverland website, said the region has much potential.

“The Riverland is one of my favourite spots and one of the best opportunities to develop as well,” he said.

“The Riverland needs to start being competitive online.

“There is interest in the region, it’s just a matter of connecting it.”

Fire danger season ends early THE Country Fire Service will tonight lift fire restrictions in 15 of its fire ban districts due to higher than average rainfalls in recent months.

As of midnight, restrictions will be lifted with CFS chief officer Greg Nettleton stating the decision has been made by several key stakeholders across the state.

“There have been compelling arguments put forward to end the fire danger season ahead of schedule due to higher than average rainfalls in many parts of the state and a significant reduction in the soil dryness,” he said.

“Bringing the fire danger season dates forward will enable property owners to conduct activities such as burn-offs that would normally require a permit.”

WAITING times for development applications at a local council have come under scrutiny following a complaint from a community member.

The Loxton Waikerie Council will review its application approval system over the next month, hoping to speed up the process. “It’s not as simple as the application coming in, approval coming out, depending on the type of application it is,� Council chief executive officer Peter Ackland said. “Some are straight forward, some are very simple, some are very complex, some require referral from different agencies and some require advertising. “All of that is sped up if we can have the right information with it (the application).�

Mr Ackland said the application process is, at times, not easy and there can be several reasons for delays. “There is a range of agencies, at times, we need to refer information to and they have stipulated timeframes they need to get back to us,� he said. “We are looking to set a series of benchmarks so that we can then talk to the community and

Celebrating Easter

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF IT IS ONE of the region’s favourite Christmas shows and this year it has an Easter theme.

Little Town will be brought forward to the Easter period this year, for the first time in five years and the John Gladigau authored performance, called Anna’s Hope, is already receiving a positive build-up.

Show director Aub Mattner said Gladigau’s original intent was for the annual Christmas

show to be held at Easter anyway.

“John has been behind seven Little Town productions and this is the first in five years it has been at Easter,” he said.

Mr Mattner said there will be plenty on offer during the performance.

“It’s about 40 minutes long, a mixture of a drama and a musical,” he said.

“There’s an outstanding cast of singers and 15 people with spoken parts.” Mr Mattner has

been involved in Little Town for the past five years and told the Riverland Weekly of the plot of this year’s performance.

“It tells the story of a girl called Anna who meets Jesus, dies and he brings her back to life,” he said.

“It’s not a Bible ‘bashing’ story, there’s a lot of local and modernised humour in it, even if it’s set thousands of years ago.”

Mr Mattner said the Little Town performance has built up a good reputation. “We’ve had

■ BIRD WATCHING: Waikerie bird-watcher Rex Ellis said the drought nearly wiped out several waterbird species in the Riverland and land-birds such as the regent parrot (right) have also benefited from the extra water.

The life you

By BRAD PERRY AN AVID bird-watcher is enjoying the environment’s return to health after years of drought and burgeoning waterbird numbers it is bringing to the Riverland.

Waikerie’s Rex Ellis, who runs Bush Safari Co, said the crippling drought, lasting more than a decade, nearly wiped out several waterbird species in the region.

“A lot of our focus is birdlife and we chase that a lot,” Mr Ellis said.

“During the drought, most people don’t really know how serious the big hit was on pelicans, ibis and some ducks species, in particular.

“They were just about down to seriously depleted levels.

“This (water) has been brilliant for them.”

Mr Ellis said birds would often fly out of the region in search of water during the drought but some are now returning and breeding.

“There has been some really good breeding with regent parrots and we are seeing little flocks of budgies and cockatiels coming down from the north, which is normal when everything is green and good,” he said.

“The landbirds are getting better and better and gradually the waterbirds will come back.”

Stories in city media about the Riverland being flooded have caused problems for visitor flows to the region, according to Mr Ellis.

“You get on the river and it’s like a morgue in between towns,” he said.

“You need to take a few more precautions than you would (usually) but there is no reason people shouldn’t be up here experiencing it (the high river).”

outside success, (with many people) coming at Christmas time,” he said.

“There were busloads last year, we had about 2500 come to see the show.

“So far, John has already managed to sell 300 tickets for this year.”

Mr Mattner said it was a privilege to be involved in the development of Little Town. Anna’s Hope will take place at St Peter’s Church, Loxton, on April 8 and 9, 15 and 16 and 22 and 23.

The Riverland shines in Young Achiever awards as.....

Practice medical chair Grant Baker.

Dr Baker said vaccination is the best way to stay clear of the flu.

“We are also reminding the local community that if you had a vaccine last year, you still need to be boosted again this year,” Dr Baker said.

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF TWO of the Riverland’s youngest contributors have again been rewarded for their work over the past 12 months.

Glossop youth Dean Barnett and former Berri woman Rebecca Richards won awards at the South Australian Young Achievers Awards night in Adelaide on the weekend.

Mr Barnett won the award in the regional initiative category and said it was pleasing to win.

“It’s almost like having a pat on the back, getting affirmation for something you do is great,” he said.

“I thought I had a chance of winning and when I was announced, it was fantastic.”

While happy, he said winning awards is not why he is involved in the community.

“There’s so many things you can do for the community, you can’t just stop at one, you have to keep jumping to another level,” Mr Barnett said.

It is not the first time he has received such an honour, previously winning Berri Barmera Young Citizen of the Year, last year and the Youth Award at the 2010 Advantage SA Regional Awards in November.

Mr Barnett said each award has its own significance.

“I think they’re all as good as each other,” he said.

“When you volunteer for activities regularly, the whole community benefits,” Mr Barnett said. “That is really why I enjoy doing it so much.”

Meanwhile, Ms Richards was also rewarded for her community efforts and praised her former home for having a strong contingency at the event.

Ms Richards won two awards; the Office for Youth Aboriginal Achievement Award and the overall winner of the South Australian Young Achiev-

er of the Year and said it was fantastic and nerve wracking to win.

“I was a bit nervous beforehand and when I kept introducing my friends to others, I kept forgetting my own friends’ names,” she laughed.

“It was very pleasing as well, as there were many representatives from the Riverland. “I think it shows the Riverland for what the people can do and highlights the community spirit.”

Regional outlook for Rose Festival

By BRAD PERRY FOR the first time in its 17 year history, the Renmark Rose Festival is expanding to incorporate rose gardens and events across the region.

The festival, which is held over 10 days in October, celebrates the prosperity and beauty of the rose in the Riverland and will now hold open gardens in Waikerie and Loxton.

Renmark Rose Festival committee chair Phil Reddy said expanding the Rose Festival will not only ensure more people are involved locally but attract extra visitors to the region.

“We’ve got people in Waikerie and also Loxton who are wanting

to hold events at the same time,” he said.

“It means that everybody can participate in it.

“Somebody might say ‘down the road my neighbour has opened up their garden’, so we can view their roses and then all of a sudden they say, ‘we might go and participate in other activities within the Rose Festival’.

“We are going to have 48 events and the future of where we’d like to see it going is to get it going bigger.”

While the event will continue to function under the name Renmark Rose Festival, Mr Reddy said he hopes the event will be expanded in gardens as far as the Mallee in the

future.

“If they want to open their rose gardens in association with the rose, that’s what we are about,” he said.

There will also be several Lyrup residents with open gardens during this year’s event, while the Renmark Paringa Freewheelers Club will host bike tours showcasing rose gardens.

The committee has also organised a bus package, where people can tour around looking at people’s roses in residential front gardens.

Last year, the Riverland had over 900 accommodation nights in October due to the festival’s popularity and Mr Reddy hopes the event’s expansion will see even more tourists come to the region.

Roo response comes too late for council MORE then a year after the Berri took more than a year for the SA Barmera Council wrote a letter Murray Darling Basin NRM Board to the South Australian Murray to reply to council’s concerns.

THE Riverland Relay for Life committee will be hosting an information night for locals interested in taking part in this year’s event.

With preparations for October’s Relay for Life commencing earlier than in previous years, the committee’s recruitment and retention officer Dean Barnett said he hopes to get as many people to attend the information night as possible.

“We’re hoping to get rid of the pre-conceived idea that people have to run the laps to take part,” Mr Barnett said.

“It’s not at all like that, people can go to just have a good time.”

Mr Barnett said the information night is a good idea for people to see how a Relay for Life event functions and

to broaden their horizons.

“We raised $48,000 last year and had 13 teams,” he said.

“We’re hoping for as many people to come and that’s why we’ve started so early.”

However, Mr Barnett said the committee is not worrying about similar figures this year.

“As long as we get a few teams going, that’s what we want,” he said.

“It’s all about the experience of going and raising money for cancer because everyone has been touched by it whether it be them or a family member.”

The meeting will be held on April 6, from 6pm.

For more information, contact Mr Barnett on 0424 251 561.

Topics covered in the intensive course are understanding contouring and face shapes, colour theory, learning modern make-up designs for parties, formals and weddings and learning current make-up trends.

Head trainer Milly Pearce said after travelling around the state for her previous job, as part of the creative and education team for Napoleon Perdis, she met a lot of women who were hungry for more advanced skills and knowledge in make-up artistry.

“The enthusiasm from regional people during my visits was inspiring,” Milly said.

“I also recognised there is a niche market in regional places, women still want to look good, feel good, and know how to enhance their natural beauty and have fun with make-up to express their personal style but they didn’t have anyone to turn to for advice or even buy professional products.”

For those considering getting involved in the industry, but are hesitant about being able to find work, then this course can help.

Anger over nuclear waste transport route

By BRAD PERRY THE Berri Barmera Council will lobby to state and federal governments seeking guarantee that radioactive waste will not be transported through the Riverland.

The Sturt Highway through the Riverland has been highlighted as one of the cheapest possible routes to transport nuclear waste across the border.

Mr Beaton said the region has already been affected by drought and water restrictions, as well as poor commodity prices for horticulture growers, and believes transporting nuclear waste through the region would be devastating.

“It’s a concern that they would think of sending it this way at all when it’s not produced here,” he said.

“You go through the Murray Darling Basin and you have a spill or something like that, it affects the irrigation of all the crops we’ve got here.

■ CRASH: A Mitsibushi Magna (above) came off worse for wear when it collided with a truck on the Sturt Highway in Barmera last week.

Traffic was diverted from the Sturt Highway by Riverland police (below). It is understood no-one was seriously injured in the accident.

■ WASTE: Friends of the Earth representatives were in the region last year campaigning against a proposed nuclear waste transport route, which included the Riverland. Photo: JANE WILSON “We are hoping to be reassured by the people who come to see us that it’s not going to go ahead and if there is still a bit of a problem, council want to lobby on behalf of the community for that not to happen.”

Mr Beaton asked why the Riverland should be included in

any possible travel arrangements for the dangerous waste.

“I’m sure via the Riverland isn’t the quickest way to the Northern Territory,” he said.

“When they were saying they were going to take it from Lucas Heights to the Northern Territory via the Riverland, that doesn’t

seem like a direct route to me.”

In response to a letter sent by the Berri Barmera Council, Federal Resources Minister Martin Ferguson said he notes council’s concerns but believes there is no risk associated with the transportation.

“Transport of radioactive materials, including radioactive waste, enjoys an excellent safety record in Australia and internationally,” he wrote.

“There are fewer risks associated with transporting radioactive waste than there are with flammable and corrosive substances such as fuel and acid, which is routinely transported in and around our major cities and regional centres.

State Environment Minister Paul Caica backed the Federal Government’s stance.

“The EPA will continue to ensure that any transport of radioactive waste in South Australia is under strict controls to ensure it presents minimal risk,” Minister Caica said.

“What we actually have to do is teach students that what they are doing is inappropriate

In one post, a Riverland teacher is described as a ‘drop kick’ and ‘puppet’, while in another post it suggests a teacher should be sacked for “certain reasons”.

Thursday March 31, 2011 – Riverland Weekly • 11 ■ GREEN: Waikerie business GM Arnold and Son has received a grant to trial feijoa crops in the Riverland.

Waikerie business benefits from futures fund

By BRAD PERRY A WAIKERIE business has been granted funding to grow an unusual fruit.

GM Arnold and Son, known for growing alternative fruit varieties, have been successful in obtaining $10,500 of the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund to trial a feijoa crop.

The sweet fruit, relatively unknown in South Australia, is sometimes referred to as pineapple guava and is shaped similar to an avocado or kiwi fruit.

GM Arnold and Son’s David Arnold said the company will trial several feijoa varities to see whether the fruit adapts to the Riverland climate.

“We were looking at possibly doing something like this and then the futures fund came up,” he said.

“It was something new and something different.

“We’re putting several different varieties in to test them out.”

Mr Arnold said growing feijoa will add to the business already growing list of alternative

varieties, including quinces and pomegranates.

“If it does end up being a good crop to grow, it may end up being another little product that can be produced in the Riverland,” he said.

“It’s fairly important to find those different avenues of income streams and go forward.”

Almost 240 feijoa trees, in a range of different varieties, will initially be planted at the Waikerie block.

State Regional Development Minister Gail Gago said the fei-

joa tree can live through harsh conditions.

“I am advised that feijoa... are drought tolerant but obviously require water for market production,” she said.

“They could be an ideal crop for the Riverland with resulting knowledge shared with potential growers.

“I am also advised that commercial production of this new crop would be aimed at the domestic market and the Arnolds have already received interest from the Melbourne market.”

Extreme Rain Event Procedure to help prevent flooding

By BRAD PERRY RESIDENTS in the Loxton Waikerie district will be further prepared for potential future flooding events following the development of an Extreme Rain Event Procedure.

Loxton Waikerie Council Mayor Leon Stasinowsky said the procedure will help locals work with council and prepare for any heavy rain events.

The soon to be released procedure will show how council will manage flooding on a varying scale and intensity and will enable residents to make preparations with a clear understanding of the intended actions by council.

“People can be made aware by connecting to the website as to how bad it could be and what the potential is for them to need to sandbag driveways or something like that,” he said.

“When we know a large rain event is coming through, we can notify people to be aware. “(The procedure will help) people to work with council and council staff to be aware what council is doing, such as if there are any sandbags, or if they need any help with a pump.”

Mr Stasinowsky said council’s infrastructure is designed to cater for a one in 100 years event but the recent rain exceeded that design criteria, prompting the development of the procedure.

“We feel that with what we’ve got set up with the stormwater catchment areas and drains we’ve built, that we’ll catch most of it,” he said.

The procedure will soon be distributed to residents who have been identified as potentially being at risk of inundation during extreme rain events and it will also be available on the council’s website.

Lameroo skate workshop

■ ALL GO: GO: The Berri Barmera Council will go ahead with plans to construct another boat ramp at Lake Bonney.

Boat ramp still on the cards

By BRAD PERRY LAKE Bonney’s climbing water levels have not deterred plans to construct a boat ramp at the popular tourist spot.

While a new boat ramp has been on Berri Barmera Council’s agenda for some time, chief executive officer David Beaton said once water levels drop, work will get underway.

“The water will recede,” he said.

“It will get back to a normal pool level at some stage, so it’s just a matter

of making sure that we can do it and having a good facility for the lake.

“Now that the regulator is gone, it shouldn’t get as much fluctuation.”

Council has secured federal funding but will approach the State Government for additional financial support for the boat ramp once the design is completed.

“We’ve got some money from the Federal Government we want to put towards it to build a good one across the road from the Barmera-Monash Foot-

ball Club,” he said.

“We’re doing a design and then we will go back to the state body and see if we can get the facility built.”

Mr Beaton said Lake Bonney has again become a popular attraction recently and believes a new boat ramp would add to the many facilities at the site.

“The fact that the river has been high, there has been a lot of people going to Barmera, to Lake Bonney, because the water is safe,” he said.

THE Lameroo Skate Park opened this month and will this weekend host a workshop encouraging youth to skate.

Skateboarding Australia is hosting a Streetwise event at the skate park this Saturday and Sunday, using interactive coaching sessions to help promote the sport.

Lameroo Skate Park Committee member Heather Caudle said the initiative is great for the Mallee.

“It gets the youth together and teaches the safety side and gets them mixing with kids they might not normally,” she said.

Hard waste collection The Berri Barmera Council are to undertake a hard waste rubbish collection from residential properties in the townships of Berri and Barmera in early April.

If successful, Berri Barmera Council Mayor, Peter Hunt said that Council would provide this service for the other towns within the Council area next year.

Environmental staff have been working closely with

Council's current waste collection contractor to ensure the pick up goes ahead in a smooth and orderly fashion Mayor Hunt said.

Residents in Berri and Barmera are advised that their hard waste must be stacked neatly on the verge in front of their property by 6am on the Monday of the week set down for collection. Being, Monday April 4th for Barmera and Mon-

day April 11th for Berri.

Councils contractor's truck will only collect from each street only once during the week.

A letter drop advising of what can and can't be collected will be distributed to residents of both townships prior to the collection and can also be downloaded from Council's web site.

RIVER MURRAY TRAINING AG D DIVERSIFICATION PROGRAM

Will International markets be your saviour? We think not.

By GEOFF SIMMONS & BARB McPHERSON WHEN you are diversifying it may not be the product but the market that you change.

If you are looking to the international market to solve your marketing diversification, then think again.

Of course, you could be lucky to find a good market overseas but we would not count on it.

Unless you already have distribution all over Australia and perhaps New Zealand and some spare cash, then international markets can be difficult.

Even if you have Australia wide distribution, have you looked at other distributors that may have access to a different range of markets?

If you are selling packaged product to supermarkets through one agent, it may pay to use another agent to try the specialty or boutique market.

Sometimes this may need a rebranding or repackaging but it could pay dividends.

Most of you would know that at the moment the high Australian dollar makes exporting more difficult, along with better quality products, especially wine, from Africa and South America.

They have similar climates, similar produce and varieties but with a wage structure considerably lower than ours.

These products, including wine, are good because we have in the past and still do export our intellectual property via our wine makers, food technicians and livestock genetics.

What we need is for our technicians to import some of their intellectual property, techniques and tastes from various regions.

We can then grow it, process it to their tastes and export it back to that region.

Monash primary school unveils new building AFTER its official opening on Friday, Monash Primary School’s facilities built from the Building Education Revolution funding are ready to guide students into the wonders of the technological world.

Since the finalisation of the building’s construction early last year, the school had previously used the facilities as a temporary staff room, before the opening saw a computer suite installed.

Monash Primary School principal Brenton Chapman said it is a thrill for kids to get the opportunity to use the new computer suites.

“Kids love using technology, so for them, it’s

“If you use (the technology), when it’s used well, as a learning tool, they respond very well.”

First prize was won by an all-woman team.

Host Mick McAppion, of Lameroo, kept the show running smoothly, with his selection of Irish jokes entertaining the crowd.

The quiz was scored by Lameroo Catholic Women’s League Branch president Sharon Woodfield.

Between rounds, there were table quizzes, which were described as good promotion of teamwork and conversation starters.

Mr Chapman said he hopes the facility will bring a sense of improved learning for kids.

THE StartSmart program, run by the Commonwealth Bank, is a great way for primary school children to learn about saving money and finances, albeit at a very young age.

Commonwealth Bank primary facilitator Caroline Phillips said the program was all about financial awareness.

“It’s about giving children hints and tips at a young age,” she said.

“A lot of kids live in the ‘I want’ society and we’re teaching them to save for what they want and not hassle mum and dad.”

The program visited different primary schools around the region, including Renmark West and Renmark.

The program, originally created for secondary schools, began in the primary sector in 2007.

pectations.

The story was read out to the audience and it was enjoyed by young and old, with school groups joining in with the rhymes.

The book is now available for purchase from selected bookstores and online.

FOR children at the Winkie Child Parent Centre, there is now an opportunity to have an ultra enjoyable time, on the recently refurbished facilities.

Renovations to the playground and bike track took place over the Christmas holidays, with a working bee earlier this month, further refreshing the look of the outdoor area.

Teacher Leanne Brooke said the amount of support the centre received from volunteers was fantastic.

“It was hugely successfull, we had a long list of jobs to get through and around 30 workers helped,” she said.

Mrs Brooke said the new facilities are very popular among the users.

“The children love them,” she said.

“We can’t keep them off the bikes and everyday they are on the playground.

“It was a fantastic idea to follow-up on.”

The centre also refreshed the overall look of its water play area and planted a vegetable garden around the playground pit.

THE Regional Multicultural Communities Council celebrated Harmony Day last week by gathering local community members from a range of different backgrounds to share their migration stories.

RMCC president Peter Ppiros said it is important to identify support for migrants moving to the region.

“With new settlers coming in,

we need to assess whether there is work and support,” he said.

Harmony Day occurs annually to promote understanding in the community and multiculturalism. Mr Ppiros said RMCC organises a number of programs and events and also helps translate local issues into ethnic languages such as drought, locusts problems and floods.

Call for calm on Lake Eyre sailing debate This is the second of a two part investigation into the debate affecting sailing on Lake Eyre.

By DANNY HANRAHAN THE Honourable Grace Portolesi, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation has called for calm between the warring parties involved in the Lake Eyre yachting dispute.

However, Arabunna native title chairman Aaron Stuart and Lake Eyre Yacht Club commodore Bob Backway are two very passionate people, unafraid to speak their minds.

This week, Bob Backway has the right of reply and has certainly not pulled any punches.

“When Reg Dodd, the leader of the Marree Arabunna makes the statement, ‘you will never do what you did on the Cooper [hold a regatta] on this Lake [Eyre]’, I don’t think they are planning on the ban being temporary,” Mr Backway said.

“The club has pointed out that there is no legal difference between boating on Lake Eyre and any other waterway in Australia.

“This action is setting a

■ DEBATE: The debate over whether a sailing regatta will take place on Lake Eyre continues, with neither side seemingly willing to concede ground. precedent.

“The Arabunna have not had any claim relating to Lake Eyre acceded to by the Government of SA and also have no ILUA or co-management agreement in regard to Lake Eyre National Park.

“Correspondence from the Aboriginal heritage people has foreshadowed extending controls over tributaries to Lake Eyre.

“Some of these rivers are as big as the Murray when in flood.

“Most other waterways have an Indigenous Land Use Agreement which give indigenous groups more say in what happens on their waterways.

“Already some of these agreements include fishing.

“Who is to say boating may be on a future agenda?”

An issue of contention has been over buildings around Lake Eyre.

Lake Eyre yachties question native title claims ■ From Page 26 Mr Backway said the club is against buildings anywhere near the lake.

“We want to sail yachts on the lake, not build buildings,” he said.

“Our clubhouse is located at Marree, 100 kilometres from Lake Eyre, and that’s where it will always be.

“We are against any permanent development such as buildings or resorts in or near Lake Eyre National Park.”

However, the major issue of contention involves the Arabunna people’s spiritual beliefs.

“We have no problem with the Arabunna holding any belief associated with Lake Eyre but with regard to section 116 of the Australian Constitution, and I quote: ‘116. The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth’,” Mr Backway said.

“We must point out the Arabunna cannot impose their beliefs on us by government decision.

“We are aware and have photographic evidence of non Arabunna people walking, paddling, floating and swimming on Lake Eyre while participating in tours conducted by Arabunna Tours.

“The Arabunna Tour website

■ ACCESS: A map featuring access tracks to Lake Eyre.

Photo: SUPPLIED

has such an image and the Arabunna’s legal group LAMP’s website mentions ‘swim on the shores of…Lake Eyre’.”

“The complainant is well aware of and, therefore, must tolerate many other activities occurring on the lake.

“We ask how strong this belief is and why does it seem to be Lake Eyre Yacht Club specific?“ Mr Backway said that in April 2007, the Lake Eyre Yacht Club approached the leader of the Arabunna in Marree and asked to

be informed of any ‘special places’ they would like his members to keep away from but has never received a response.

“At least three other indigenous groups have claim to parts of Lake Eyre,” Mr Backway said.

“For us to acknowledge the Arabunna claim over Lake Eyre would jeopardise our relationship with other groups in the area.

“We only want to sail and what better sustainable way is there to recreate in a national park?”

In further developments last

week, Stephen Kenny, a lawyer for the Arabunna people who filed a native title claim on the waterway in 1998, said the controversy over the issue has been disrespectful.

“Some media circles are appearing to take on a tone of disrespecting the culture of the Arabunna people,” he said.

Steven Kenny said national parks’ concerns were not related to the Arabunna’s native title claim but the Aboriginal Heritage Act that calls for protection of sites of indigenous significance.

“Lake Eyre is a national park and for the yacht club to hold a regatta there, they do need permission from National Parks and Wildlife...(who) know Lake Eyre is a significant site for the Arabunna people,” he said.

“There is an Aboriginal Heritage Act in South Australia that allows Aboriginal people to protect their heritage and it is an offence to do something that is detrimental to Aboriginal heritage.

“That is a separate issue and that is what national parks is concerned about, that the (sailing) activities could infringe (indigenous) spiritual beliefs.”

Mr Kenny said native title only gave Aboriginal people formal recognition as traditional owners of the land and the right to negotiate with miners.

“Native title does not give Aboriginal people the right to exclude others from their land,” he said.

“The tourists can still go there - they can’t actually ban anyone from going to Lake Eyre.”

Mr Kenny said he was confident the Arabunna’s native title claim would be successful.

“I am bit frustrated that it has taken so long and hasn’t happened earlier,” he said.

“This is a very strong native title claim and I have every expectation that it will be decided by consent.”

South Australian Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Grace Portolesi later stated that those who sailed on the waterway illegally could face penalties of up to $50,000 under the Aboriginal Heritage Act. Stay tuned.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS

The T Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

Rising stars making a name for themselves ■ STUDYING the results of the Renmark High School sports day, I immediately recognised two names, in particular, that I had come across many times before.

They were in the under 15 years section, Felicia Matulin and Dalton Casey, the cup winners for their age group.

Felicia, who broke an under 14 girls high jump record in the All Schools Invitational Athletics Championships in Adelaide earlier in the summer, also set a new mark for that event at her school.

Her 1.64 metre jump broke a record set in 1995, for the age group.

Felicia is something of a sporting allrounder.

She has played SAPSASA girls soccer, won the 2010 under 15 Riverland netball best and fairest award and SAPSASA and junior state athletics teams have already taken her to Launceston, Hobart and Canberra.

In the athletics season, she trains at high jump about once a week and also travels to Adelaide once a month for practice with the Little Athletics’ Squad LA. An unassuming young athlete with loads of natural ability, there are coaches, both local and in the city, watching Felicia’s performances with interest with an eye to the future.

Meanwhile, Dalton Casey is another young sporting all-

■ KYM Fitzpatrick made the perfect start to the new Riverland eight-ball season by capturing his first major association title when he defeated Daryl Wutke in the final of the annual Rex Weaver Memorial tournament at the Renmark Club.

A good turn out of 50 took part in the event and saw Fitzpatrick defeat Tony Rover and Wutke, Sue Verco, in the semi-finals, before Fitzpatrick had to hold his nerve to eventually get on top of his dogged grand final opponent.

sports award for years eight and nine in 2010, he was a member of the volleyball squad that made the annual journey to Melbourne last year to compete in the Australian Schools Cup. He is also a promising cricketer, having played successfully at

SAPSASA level but progress there is currently on the back burner because of the commitment he is making to his favourite sport, hockey.

Already playing A grade, as well as in junior teams, with Renmark, he has also been travelling to Adelaide to train and play with North East and was a member of that club’s under 15 premiership team in 2010.

In addition, he gained some experience at under 18 level.

In fact, travel to the city has continued once a fortnight in the off season, as Dalton is also a member of a Hockey SA development squad.

An invitation to a one off Pathway squad session in Adelaide has also been received.

Overall, there were a number of outstanding performers at Renmark High’s sports day when the championship was won by Sturt House, Handicap Shield

by Tintra House and Ball Games Shield by Chaffey, by just two points from Sturt with Tintra another four points astern.

Age cup winners were: under 14 - Zac Trewin and Pirrie Weeks; under 16 - Mitchell Lee and Jamie Butters; under 20 - Billy Cameron and Kelly Nelson.

Most dedicated winners were: Keegan Wegener (Chaffey), Taylah Kubenk (Murray), Fusun Siy (Sturt), Kaitlyn Merritt (Tintra).

Riverland third in primary swim titles ■ RIVERLAND finished third amongst 17 teams at the recent annual SAPSASA Country Swimming Championships held in Adelaide.

Gawler won the title with Lower Eyre Peninsula runners-up.

For Riverland, gold medals went to Colby Jachmann in 12 years backstroke and to swimming with a disability competitor Joseph McKinnon, in 13 years breaststroke, as well as relay teams Alek Kudra, Clayton Bond, Regan Binder, Tyson Kent (10 years boys) and Shay Hawkins, Jake Millar, Matthew Nourse, Codey Lambert (12 years boys).

McKinnon also won a silver medal, along with Alek Kudra, Codey Lambert and Shay Hawkins, while bronze medals went to Tyson Kent, Jake Millar, April Burdon and team captains Marlee George and Ryan Casey.

Other relay medals were silver to Amy Stephens, Torni Hill, Kasey Ferguson and Emily Kassebaum (10 years girls) and James Smith, Jackson Waechter, Lee Tape and Zane Leuth (11 years boys) and bronze to Colby Jachmann, Jake Millar, Shay Hawkins, Ryan Casey (open boys medley) and Ashlee Reichelt, Jesse Kent, Dalyce Jenner, Jola Kudra (12 years girls freestyle).

Neil Uzzell from Riverland Special School was team coach.

Who was our first world champ?

■ WHICH sport produced Australia’s first world champion?

Boxing, even billiards are popular nominations but our first undisputed world champion was a sculler, Edward ‘Ned’ Trickett.

Born near Sydney Harbour, Trickett had beaten the best scullers in the land by the time he reached 23 years of age and in 1876, a group of businessmen sponsored a trip to England for him to challenge for the world title.

Hundreds of thousands of people crowded on to the banks of the Thames to witness the younger and heavier Australian thrash Joseph Henry Sadler by 12 lengths to grab the world crown.

Trickett was the first to use a sliding seat in a single scull.

Back home in Australia, the nation agonised over the result but when the news arrived some three weeks after the event, the country rejoiced as one.

Just like it did in 1983 when Australia won the America’s Cup

■ CHAMPION: Australia’s first world champion, rower Edward ‘Ned’ Trickett.

using a winged keel on its yacht Australia Two. Trickett returned home to a thunderous welcome and was to go on to defend his world title against Michael Rush in 1877 and Elias Laycock in 1879, before meeting his match against

a cocky Canadian Ned Hanlan back on the Thames in 1880.

Trickett had started a magnificent tradition though, as in the next 62 years, until the last world title race in 1938, Australians grabbed the championship on no less than 41 occasions.

All the winners came from NSW and included William Beach (seven), Peter Kemp, Major Goodsell and James Stansbury (five).

However, ‘Ned’ Trickett was our first world champion.

50

The number of years Mike Horsman has been umpiring.

Mike approaches 1500 game milestone ■ BARMERA’S Mike Horsman is about to commence his 50th season as an Australian rules field umpire.

His career with the whistle started in 1962, when he was 16, in the Elizabeth junior competition.

Mike had just left school at Kings College, where he had played the game, but found he was unable to continue with the school’s old collegiate side as it was policy that players had to have reached 18 years of age.

He then drifted to Magill Royals for a kick but at the same time took an interest in umpiring, decided he like it, and was up and away at Elizabeth.

From there he joined the SANFL and was part of the country panel, officiated in a few reserves matches and a league trial game, before moving to the 120 strong Southern/Great Southern panel.

He was assistant coach of that group for three seasons.

Then in 1985 he moved to the Riverland where he has umpired in over 500 matches taking the overall number in his career

■ STALWART: Mike Horsman. to 1474.

One of his early coaches suggested he keep a record of his matches after he had handled only some 10 or so games, and he has done so.

In the Riverland, he has officiated across the grades with a preference for under 18s.

He has been appointed to grand finals in all but A grade and

for nearly four seasons was coach of the RFL Umpires Panel.

He was appointed in 1992 as one of the inaugural SANFL regional umpires managers and remains one of only two originals still in the position, which sees him support umpires’ coaches in the Riverland, Mallee and Barossa leagues.

Mike rates a very young former Waikerie player, Mark Ricciuto, as the best he has ever umpired and a former football nomad, AFL strongman Robert Muir, as the biggest character.

He recalls Muir jumping the fence during a game one day at Port Elliott “to put a spectator right,” only to be removed from the ground soon after, not by his coach, but by an officer of the law.

I asked Mike about the standard of umpiring in the Riverland.

“Going on what I have seen at recent SA Country Championships, our top umpires compare very favourably with others across the state,” he said.

And why would anyone want to get into umpiring I quizzed?

“It is a definite character builder, keeps you fit and you can stay part of the game,” he replied.

He compared today, with two or three umpires, with the time only one had control of 36 players out on the field.

“That could be tough,” he added.

Fifty years is a long time in any caper but umpiring football, with its training and considerable physical effort, plus dealing with players and spectators that are, in the main, going to be 50/50 about any decision you make, is a tough gig.

I asked the veteran whistleman his reasons for continuing the job.

“I really enjoy umpiring, I love it,” he replied.

“I will go on for as long as my body holds up and while I continue to enjoy it.”

Mike admits that his vast experience has taught him how to cut a lot of corners out on the grass, so it probably will not be long before he is celebrating an amazing 1500 game milestone.

Cobby’s come from behind softball win ■ COBDOGLA fought back from 8-3 down to win a high quality and exciting A grade softball grand final on Saturday night 13-8, defeating defending champions Loxton at Glassey Park.

Outstanding in the Cobdogla recovery was association joint rookie of the year Brodie Fridd with a best on ground performance.

This is an outstanding effort by the 2010-11 premiers, as the team was nominated initially as a B grade side for the season.

Actually, I have been chastised for reminding people of this from time to time but I now rest my case.

The B grade was an incredible situation with the grand finalists Gerard and Lyrup meeting for the first time in 2010-11 after being affected by cancellations due to weather along the way.

Gerard took the title comfortably 20-7 and supplied the BOG trophy winner, Kathy Johnson.

The C grade also saw a comfortable win to Berri 10-0 against Waikerie with Kenny Karpany BOG.

Greyhounds on track ■ RIVERLAND greyhounds get under way this Saturday at the

Barmera track after a break for the summer months.

Racing starts at 1pm with admission to the venue free.

Trainers from throughout SA and from interstate continue to bring their dogs to these meetings as the RGRC seems firmly established as an important part of the industry in this state.

A bookmaker will be on track and full catering is available.

Hockey carnival ■ A FEW Riverland players will get a chance to blow some of the early season cobwebs off

when they play in a local team at a round robin masters hockey competition at Berri’s Glassey Park this weekend.

Two teams from Adelaide and another from Mount Gambier will also join the tournament, with a pennant flag up for grabs when the two top teams play off on Sunday afternoon.

The Loxton Hockey Club will present a roast tea at minimal charge at the Glassey Park clubrooms on Saturday night.

Games start at 10am on Saturday.

For any enquiries, contact tournament director Tim Cass (0429 616 968).

SPORT

Cricket upset ■ PARRAKIE broke a long premiership drought when it scored an upset win in last weekend’s Pinnaroo and Border cricket grand final against minor premiers Murrayville.

Perhaps Murrayville’s month long lay-off, due to a bye and automatic elevation to the title decider, had an effect, as they were bowled out for only 71 on day one.

Mark Benham and Matthew Sherman both grabbed four wickets for Parrakie.

Solid contributions from batting mainstays Haydon Thorpe and Greg Stephenson had Parrakie in front on 5/92 at stumps and its aim for Sunday was to occupy the crease for as long as possible to blunt any Murrayville recovery.

That they did, due to the efforts of preliminary final hero Adam Berwick (40) and Dwayne Simon, and the innings closed at 170.

Batting a second time, Murrayville reached 8/125 and with only 25 overs remaining in the day’s play, the game was called off.

This was Parrakie’s first victory against Murrayville for 2010/11, in fact, the minor premier had only lost its opening two matches of the season.

There is also quite a story to tell from the River Murray competition where Karoonda went into the grand final as red hot favourites.

Prior to Christmas, the Karoonda boys struggled as they battled to field a side due to harvest commitments and the like but during 2011 did not lose another minor round game, repeatedly winning convincingly and scraping into the four.

It then went on to win its semi-final by nine wickets, so it certainly had reason to feel confident for the grand final against Mypolonga, even though the opponent boasted highly credentialed bowler Adam Zrim.

After all, Karoonda also possessed its own share of talent.

Scott Huxtable, Luke Hocking and Corey Knight have all represented SA Country, while another former local, Adam Polkinghorne, was travelling to play with some old mates, fresh from turning out in state cricket for Tasmania.

Karoonda batted first and crashed to 71 all out, a target which Mypolonga passed with the loss of only one wicket.

Polkinghorne’s returning home to play alongside Huxtable did have its benefits, giving their fathers, two of the best known sportspeople to come out of the area, Kevin and Leighton, a chance to catch up for a chat about old times.

Helbig joins long list of Riverland footy stars

T

HE Riverland has had its fair share of football talent make it to the big stage and Waikerie lad Brad Helbig added to the already impressive list when he debuted for Richmond in round one last week.

The baby faced youth may look young but he certainly did not look out of place in the AFL scene, a far cry from the Riverland Football League.

In recent years, Sam Fisher and Rhys Stanley have both climbed the ranks after playing locally with Barmera-Monash and Berri respectively.

Interesting to note, Helbig donned Ben Cousins’ number 32 for the Tigers, a reflection of how much potential the club believes the talented youngster has.

Waikerie football legend Mark Ricciuto also wore the number 32 during his stellar career at Adelaide and this fact will certainly be a future bragging right for Helbig.

Another milestone featuring Riverland footballers was also reached during round one of the

2011 AFL season.

It was two decades since Adelaide played its inaugural match against Hawthorn at the weekend and of the 52 original squad members for that season, six were from the Riverland and Mallee.

Those names included Loxton’s Grantley Fielke and Darren Bartsch, Renmark’s Bruce Lindner, Mark Mickan and Michael

Murphy and Lameroo’s Rodney Maynard.

Fielke, who also played for Collingwood, would go on to play 24 games with Adelaide, Lindner managed to play 19 games (66 at Geelong), Mickan played 37 (48 at Brisbane), Murphy played 16 for the Crows (29 with North Melbourne and 10 with Brisbane) and Maynard was the most distinguished of the

group, finishing with 81 games.

Bartsch holds an unenviable AFL record, where he is the only player ever to be on five club lists (West Coast, Geelong, Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon) and never register an official game.

Maynard is the only local player from that squad to have returned home to play, winning six Mail Medals and coaching Lameroo for six years, winning five premierships.

The initial Crows list provides just a snippet of the talented footballers the Riverland and Mallee has produced.

Port Adelaide champion Russell Ebert, Neil Kerley, Tony Modra and Byron Schammer are just a few of the names that can be added to the list.

With so many local football players reaching the highest level, it is a mystery as to why the Riverland has not produced a sporting museum to acknowledge its stars.

By the time a museum is created, there will be many more names to don its walls.

Independent Football Clubs 2011 Season preview

Season preview

COMING off a third place finish last year and a narrow grand final loss in 2009, Wunkar will hope the way is up, not down.

The Bulldogs bowed out in the preliminary final to eventual premiers Lyrup and can take heart from a solid season in Independent football.

Former Loxton North stalwart Rod Koch is the coach for 2011, and is aiming to keep Wunkar sailing in calm waters for the future.

“It’s a long season, there’s nine teams but only four spots up for grabs,” Koch said.

“I’d be disappointed if we weren’t in the top four this year.”

Koch’s main aim, however, is to mould the side into a competitive team unit.

“That’s a little goal I’ve set for them this year,” he said.

The team has built a reputation on its ability to show grit and determination and we expect nothing less from the Bulldogs this season.

ENTERING into a new season with a clean slate, Ramco is hoping to dramatically improve on last season’s mediocre finish.

While pre-season training has been interrupted due to the harvest, new coach Andrew Bevan is confident in his team’s ability.

“With the skill we’ve got and the young fellas, we should make finals,” he said.

“If everything goes well with

no major injuries, we should be quite competitive.

“The aim is, we’ve got to get our running game going.”

The Roosters are still finding their feet in the Independent competition but will be hoping to make more of a mark this season.

Bevan said the team must work on fitness if it is going to succeed.

“Our fitness has let us down in the last few years,” he said.

X-Factors

X-Factors IT IS HARD to believe a departing player so young could command so much interest but that is just what youngster Nathan Brown did when he left for Loxton North.

The Bulldogs will miss the Independent colts medallist, who also polled well in the A grade count.

Wunkar have not recruited heavily either, signing only John Farr from Berri’s B grade and Craig Burns from Loxton.

Koch has drive in midfield though, even without recruits, and he can prepare for big seasons from Daniel Evans and former colts Rhys Heinrich,

Ian Worsfold and Luke Pontt.

Rumours about key midfielder Shane Schulz retiring were dismissed by Koch who announced the veteran will play on in 2011, however, the start to his season will be hampered by a trial game knee injury.

There is still much talent in this team, including Sean Gray, Simon Hucks, Harley Bennell and Roger Taylor.

Gray (pictured) was a handy option up forward last season and we think he could have a very dominant season, piling on more than 50 goals.

for tall Beau Jinks, who can reportedly kick the football more than 50 metres.

Bevan will be applying a tagging role to the Roosters side this season, with Clint Bambrick to get the job on the Independent competition’s big names.

“If you tell him to do a job, that job will be done,” Bevan said.

The team will certainly miss Al Geehman, who has retired, but will look to his fill his position by blooding some young stars.

How far can Ramco go?

How far can Wunkar go?

IF KOCH can achieve his ‘team unit’ goal, Wunkar may well become a threat to opposition clubs this year.

With the nucleus of the team still there, it might not be a crazy idea to jump on the Bulldogs bandwagon.

However, Koch will not be getting too excited at things to come, as

MAX Baddack and Russell Boatswain both had sensational seasons in 2010 and much more is expected of them this season.

Ruckman Nigel Hole is gone but has been replaced by big man Jamie O’Callaghan.

Lyrup players Scott Marr and Josh Murphy may also return to Ramco.

Teenager Jesse Cameron will be required to step up this season and continue to play good football, while watch out

Wunkar still went backwards from a grand final defeat in 2009 to a preliminary final defeat in 2010.

In saying that, Wunkar will again be the team others want to beat and the Bulldogs will not be giving up the points that easy.

RAMCO has certainly been around the mark in its first few years in the Independents but will be hoping to stamp its authority this season.

Retaining its core player group will help the Roosters be competitive but we feel the

team will just miss out on a finals spot after being around the mark all season.

If Baddack can play as well as he did last season and feature heavily on the scoreboard, Ramco will be a real threat.

Season preview BROWN’S Well will be hoping to crawl off the bottom of the ladder this season and may have the calibre of players to do so.

While the team has lost a significant number of players from last season’s squad, some handy recruits have certainly created confidence.

A competitive early hit-out against East Murray last week showed the Bombers are well and truly on the way to shake the cellar dweller tag.

Well respected and experienced Brown’s Well player Russ Charles

has brought plenty of heart to his new role as coach.

“To get off the bottom of the ladder would be great,” Charles said.

“From a club point of view, we just hope to keep numbers continuing to train.”

Losing almost a team of players could have easily seen the club fold, instead the community has rallied behind it and a committed group of players has taken up the challenge to bring the Bombers back to the glory days.

X-Factors THE club has been blessed by brotherly love with the recruitment of Joe, John, Michael and Tom Oxborrow from Mypolonga.

From all accounts, the talented foursome are playmakers and the family may also bring further players from Murray Bridge way.

While many players have either left the club or retired, such as Scott Gillet, Ray Leach, Pat Flavel, Blake Milich, Tim Smythe, Daniel Cass, Michael Reichstein, Matt Hampel and Adam Flavel, Charles

is confident the Bombers will still be very competitive.

There will be much reliance on ruckman Brian Hampel (pictured) as he has the ability to perform, which he showed in a losing team last season.

Consistent veteran Ash Smith will be hard at the football again, while young Bryce Victor may play an important role in the senior side this season. Charles will also come out of retirement to play and is sure to have an impact for the team.

How far can Brown’s Well go?

THE Bombers will certainly be out to be more competitive but given the exodus of players, it will be a massive challenge for the team to get off the bottom of the ladder.

The team’s recruits are impressive but does the team have enough depth to compete with the top

Independent clubs?

There are still players there, such as Hampel and Smith, who can perform week in, week out.

Who knows where the goals will come from but there is a hype around the club that it will cause an upset or two this season.

Berri Football Club 2011

Recent History

Season preview BERRI will be relying on a mix of young and inexperienced players and what is left from last year’s premiership side.

With players departing from all over the ground, part of Berri’s spine is now missing.

Out of all the players who left, the Demons will miss big man Jason Sutherland, reliable defender Les Pearson and utility David Hankin the most.

Despite the loss of so much talent and the slim recruiting drive, coach Rod Hankin still has high hopes for the season.

“Straight away, our goals will be to get to

Past 10 Positions

round four without losing, then round eight and then to the end of the home and away season,” he said.

“If anything happens in the finals, we’ll take it week by week, like last year.”

Hankin said the club may not miss the departing players as much as people think.

“There is a lot of talent gone, like Sutherland, but until the grand final, he was just another player,” he said.

“I think the depth we’ve got, we should be okay.”

game time in A grade, while youngsters Brad Dolling and Sam Atkins should make their senior debuts at some point in the season.

To add to that, the Demons have young talent in Ryan Langcake, Josh Woolston, Sam Hirschi and Kieran Stone, with the latter already a regular in the side.

The Demons still have plenty of talent and depth and could have a shot at back to back flags.

Theme Song I’ll Be Missing You Puff Daddy Berri had a fairytale centenary year but is now missing a number of talented players. Will the Demons dwell on the departed or move forward?

this season promising to be one of the closest for some time.

We predict an arm-wrestle between Berri, Loxton North and Renmark for that final spot in the top four.

The Demons have shown they are a team not to be underestimated.

A team can lose players but it will not lose its will to win and this Berri unit is a team that aims to win, no matter what.

How far can Berri go?

IF THERE is one thing pundits learnt last year, it is that you should never underestimate Hankin’s coaching skills.

There are too many departures from the line-up to suggest back-to-back flags in 2011 but the consensus with local footy fans during the off-season, when more Berri players left and less arrived at the Memorial Oval, was that finals was right out all together.

That seems unlikely though, despite

■ PREMIERS: The Renmark Cricket Club premiership team.

THE Brown’s Well Football Club has been boosted by the return of one its favourite sons from retirement.

Coach Russ Charles will don the boots once more to help guide his team from the bottom of the Independent competition ladder.

The 35-year-old admits he is not as athletic as he used to be but he is looking forward to playing again after the Bombers lost a core group of players for the coming season.

“I never really was going

to take the role on but the club was looking for someone with a bit of heart for the club,” he said.

“It has been very hard fitness wise.

“Once I get the hang of it again, it will be like the old days.”

Leadership is needed at the redeveloping club, according to Charles.

“Hopefully I can help create a bit of voice and direction,” he said.

In his prime, Charles was a key on-baller but this year will possibly play a new role in the forward line.

“Our forward line we are hoping to improve this year,” he said.

“I’m thinking more attack and we are hoping to increase our scoring.”

Charles is also confident his team has what it takes to win the flag if the Bombers can secure a finals berth.

“I think if we can get to fourth and the guys get enough confidence, I think we can go all the way,” he said.

Charles is an Independent best and fairest and multiple interleague representative.

Independent footy celebrates 40 great years

By BRAD PERRY IT WAS 1971, the inaugural year of Riverland Independent football and Brown’s Well 1 (there were two teams from Paruna in those days) had finished minor premiers.

The Bombers reached the grand final against MoorookKingston and the Beetles (as Moorook-Kingston was known back then) took a lead into half time in the all important match being played at Loxton North as a curtain raiser to the A grade RFL grand final.

Brown’s Well played itself back into the game and led by two points in the dying seconds of the match when a Bombers player threw the ball in the air in celebration as he heard the final siren.

However, umpire Gerry Hume failed to hear the siren due to the crowd noise and awarded a free kick to Moorook-Kingston’s Daryl Swanbury, who goaled after the siren to win the premiership.

With the competition this year reaching its 40th season, Independent 40 year celebration co-ordinator Rob Lehmann belives not much has changed since 1971 in terms of competitiveness.

Mr Lehmann said many

of the highlights and standout performances over 40 seasons of Independent football will be recorded in a book coinciding with a celebration dinner in May. Mr Lehmann, who was on the losing side in the infamous 1971 grand final, said many people thought the competition would not make

Id don’t think the people would have thought it would have lasted this long.

it to four decades. “I don’t think the people would have thought it would have lasted this long,� he said.

The Independents began with nine teams, including two from Brown’s Well, Chaffey and Gerard, and today has the same number, with Ramco and Blanchetown/Swan Reach joining from the defunct Mid Murray

Association in recent years.

Mr Lehmann said the small towns have thrived in country football because of the committed communities supporting them. “Sport is one of the main factors that has kept the communities together,� he said. “The two stand-out (players) to me are Leon Braun, from Brown’s Well, and Shane Schulz, at Wunkar. “They both were very good footballers and both could have made it at a higher level but they just seemed to want to stay with their own community.�

The competition has produced many talented footballers, as highlighted in 2009’s 38 Independent champions for 38 years.

However, to celebrate the competition’s 40th year, two more champions will be added to the list during the Anzac game at Lyrup on April 16, as judged by an expert panel. “We thought it was worthy of that,� he said.

The 40 year Indpendent celebration dinner will be held on May 21 at the Cobdogla Club, with the theme of premiership years, recognising award winners, club officials and grand final umpires.

Tom’s following his hockey dreams ■From Page 44 Wickham, who started playing Riverland hockey when his parents Robert and Tracy moved to Morgan, has received an AIS scholarship and moved to Perth to follow his dream of playing for the Kookaburras.

When the Riverland Weekly spoke to Wickham he was moving into his new house, something he is used to, having been born in Mildura and enjoying much of his childhood in Alice Springs before spending time in the Riverland and Adelaide, where he played for Forestville.

However, it is still a big step heading across to the other side of this wide, brown land, leaving behind family and friends, as well as his career as a carpenter.

A striker, Wickham is putting the final years of his chippie apprenticeship on hold to play for the team he describes as the “best in the world�.

At this stage, he is enjoying the support that being involved in the AIS can provide. “They help you out with your career and try and set you up while you are chasing your dream,� Wickham said.

He follows in the footsteps of Loxton’s Grant Schubert, one of very few Kookaburras to have won the coveted Olympic, Champions Trophy and World Cup trifecta of titles, who now resides in the most isolated city in the world.

Also currently at the AIS is former Berri girl Georgie Parker, strengthening the Riverland connection.

A Southern Hotshots player in the Australian Hockey League, Wickham has been allocated a new club team in Perth, University of Western Australia, and he is looking forward to remaining involved at the grassroots level

â– SCHOLARSHIP: Tom Wickham in action for the Southern Hotshots in the Australian Hockey League.

of the sport.

Wickham clearly likes the companionship of club hockey and is grounded about his future dreams.

While many young sportsmen his age are pursuing much more financially rewarding careers in the AFL, Wickham is comfortable trying to succeed at a sport that could see him representing his country internationally. “In hockey, there’s not so much money but that’s not a bad thing,� he muses. “It’s good if you can get some money out of it but if I wanted money, I would have played another sport.�

He also appreciates the massive contribution his parents made in regularly transporting him, firstly to Waikerie and then Adelaide to pursue his hockey ambitions. “It was pretty tough for Mum driving to Adelaide four times a week to let me play hockey,� Wickham said. “I want to do well as much for my parents as for myself, so I can repay them.�

With that kind of down to earth attitude, it is fair to say that Wickham has a good chance of achieving his dreams.

OFFERING levelling for uneven concrete and glue removal in preparation for tiling, amongst many other jobs, Concrete Grinding & Polishing is your local team to get the job done.

The machine creates exposed aggregate, which brings out the stone in the concrete by grinding away the top surface layer to reveal the desired effect.

As some existing concrete may not be suitable for certain finishes, due to the concrete not being poured for that purpose, a test patch may be ground to see how hard it is.

Concrete can vary from pour to pour so there will be variations in every finish.

There are a variety of different aggregates that can be used.

Trav Hodgson offers a variety of sealants, such as full gloss, semi gloss, matt finish and non slip, which can all be used indoors and outdoors.

Concrete polishing can be done in many different areas of a home or business.

Concrete Grinding & Polishing serves throughout the Riverland and Trav has 15 years’ of experience to his name in the tiling/building industry.

Concrete polishing is becoming extremely popular in new homes, bar areas, kitchens and pathways.

Trav said the satisfaction gained from Concrete Grinding & Polishing’s work is from knowing a finished job satisfies clients and produces an end product that looks great.

Concrete Grinding & Polishing gives you the desired seamless finish you are after.

Contact Trav at Concrete Grinding & Polishing on 0438 807 274 for a free quote and quality service today.
